Canada Supreme Court Strikes Down All Current Restrictions on Prostitution

[Kurska]

86. Either you're wrong or it doesn't matter, honestly.

Alright, I got a massage last week (not what you are probably thinking, I have chronic back pain and a monthly massage is just about all that helps). I wouldn't say for a moment that I had rented her hands to make my back better. She was a skilled professional with a trade and a craft, she knew how to get the stress out of my troubled back. If I had rented her hands, frankly I wouldn't know the first thing to do with them.

Even if your logic held then I would be "renting" the massage therapists hands just like I'd be renting a prostitute's genitals. If your objection is to the renting of someones body, then you're doing the same thing to anyone who performs a service with their hands. You're a renting a construction worker's muscles when he builds your house, you're renting a plumbers labor when he fixes your pipes and you're renting a therapists mind when he psychoanalyzes you.

There only seems to be an objection to "renting" another human being when there is sex involved. This leads me to believe the objection is actually to the idea that sex can be sold, not some moral principle about the objectionable nature of renting someone.
